Once again, Chuck D of Public Enemy contributes his voice to the
ground breaking documentary..."The Untold Story of Detroit Hip-Hop."
Produced and directed by Detroit's own Brian "Champtown" Harmon, this
highly anticipated project is very close to completion. With
executive producers Alfred Smith III and Quomeini R.Adams on board,
this documentary is close to reaching the editing room.
Also, Champtown has reached out to the Michigan "Big 3," Kid Rock,
Eminem, and I.C.P.  for their individual contribution.
Here's what Champtown has to say about the film:

"I feel that it's integral to have them be a part of this historical
documentary, I also thought it was important for the documentary to
stand on its own without neglecting Detroit's true pioneers. Even
though I have had some disputes and differences with I.C.P, I still
knew that it was important to have them participate. As for Kid Rock,
he is one of my best friends and I would be honored if he takes part
in this. After all, I was featured on his Driven and Behind the Music
pieces aired on VH1. ”

“Another fact is that a lot of people think that there is some
animosity between Eminem and me, but they would be shocked to know
that I was influential in his early life and career. As a matter of
fact, the first real recording studio that Em ever recorded in was
with me at Prince's Paisley Park in 1992 through my connections."
“Champtown also said, "Even though some artist may have fallen out
over stupidity, those issues should be put to the side for the
historical accuracy of this doc. For instance, the falling out between
Eminem and me has been hyped up by people trying to keep us away from
each other. I mean in Hip-Hop, if someone disses you, you diss them
back. It's not about race or attacking someone because of their
success, but more the nature of our art form. It's so crazy that
people think when I stated in the last trailer that Detroit was over
85% black it was a racial issue. That was just a fact I was stating
pertaining to what happened to the founding artists who never get
mentioned. Em, Kid, and I.C.P know most, if not all of them, so why,
has no one mentioned them? New Yorkers respect their founders, so why
don't they... I mean, Em is one of the greatest wordsmiths to touch a
mic - period. But there are Detroit artists just as good as him or
maybe even better who get no recognition.”

“Whatever the case, I just hope we can all move forward and create a
masterpiece. But, if any one of them decides not to get down with this
documentary, it will be considered a smack in the face to the entire
Detroit Hip-Hop community."
This documentary chronicles Detroit Hip-Hop circa 1982 to 2000,And
will provide ground breaking never seen before Eminem footage. Part 2
of this documentary will cover the years 2000 to the present, and will
focus more on the Detroit Hip-Hop Greats such as Big Herk, Rockbottom,
Street Lords, Chedda Boyz, Royce the 5''9, Slum Village, Trick Trick,
Stretch Money, K Deezy,Verdict  and more. No one will be left out of
this profound history.
